Remembering 911

We will always remember
That horrific day,
When they came to destroy us,
When they came to slay.
With sudden impact,
With great force,
Terrorists attacked us,
They were the source.
They used our planes,
For their deadly attack,
Then the sky turned gray,
Then it turned black.
The Towers were burning,
On several floors,
People can’t get out,
Not out the doors.
Then the building crumbled,
To the ground,
Many had died,
Others not found.
May God bless them,
And take them to heaven.
Those that suffered
From 9/11

Seems to me too many people forget(except New Yorkers) how shocked we were. Then speechless. And then angry. As open as this society is you would expect stuff blowing up all over the place every weekend. We are a pretty “together” country after all.

Even though I live in Canada, I had an American flag in my front window for weeks to show my support for our neighboring country in peril. This was a terrible day and I will never forget it. Beautiful and poignant poem Deb. The painting also captured the sheer terror that day.
